Mozart Great mass in C Minor

Saturday, March 24, 2018 -

7:30pm to 9:00pm

Saffron Walden Choral Society concert.

Two Mozart masterworks, one great, one small, reflecting love’s inspiration. Mozart’s vow to write a mass after his marriage to Constanze produced The Great C Minor Mass. Interspersed with monumental choruses, it includes a beautiful solo written specially for her voice. ‘Et incarnatus est’; described by Pope Francis as “matchless; it lifts you to God”. Similarly, a tender Romanze lies at the heart of Mozart’s ‘little serenade’, Eine Kleine Nachtmusik. Award-winning composer Janet Wheeler conducts I Sing and Ever Shall, her celebration of singing’s many inspirations, setting texts from Dickinson, Tagore, Herrick and others, including the Muse of Love.
